Perl not working on my Zampp

[marksu]

Thank you for your reply.

PPM.bat gives following error when trying to start.

Win22API::Registry object version 0.22 does not match bootstrap paramether 0.23 at
c:/xampp/perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 253.
Compilation failed in require at c:/xampp/perl/lib/win32/tieregistry.pm line 26.

Begin failed -- compilaqtion aborted at c:/xampp/perl/lib/win32/tieregistry.pm line 26.
Compilation failed in require at ppm.bat line 15.
Begin failed -- compilaqtion aborted at ppm.bat line 15.

Any ideas?

As suggested, try reinstalling - overwrite the files when asked or simply delete the perl folder and start again with a fresh Perl Addon install.

What version Perl Addon did you download?

What OS are you using?
Are you logged in as administrator in this OS?

I have tried to replicate your errors but without any success.

If we can't get the addon to work, but for the life of me I don't understand why, then we can take another tack.

Thank you for your wery nice comments.
I will try your succestions.
I installed pear version 5.8.7. It should work on my Xampp version according to read me file.

I installed pear version 5.8.7. It should work on my Xampp version according to read me file.

I think you meant perl not pear.

oops!
XAMPP 1.6.6a = Apache 2.2.8
You should be downloading and installing the xampp-win32-perl-addon-5.8.8-2.2.8.zip not the 5.7 version.
From the readme:
Add-on Perl 5.8.8 Apache 2.2.8
For XAMPP with Apache 2.2.8 (XAMPP 1.6.x)

To fix, (uninstall) delete the perl folder and the 2 perl related files in the xampp\apache\conf\extra folder then install afresh with the version mentioned above by extracting the files from the zip file to xampp\perl, follow the install instructions and see how that version performs.

System: XP
User: admin

That looks fine.

In your xampp\apache\conf\extra folder you should have 2 perl related files - perl.conf and startup.pl - check they are there after installing the addon and check the line in the httpd.conf file is not commented out (it should not have a # at the start of the line that gives the include path to the perl.conf file) - see my other post how the line should look.


*** Please let the forum know if the above finally solves your perl issue. ***
Thanks.

I removed the perl folder and the other 2 files.
I had trouble deleting the per file cause some files where in use even after closing Apache and mySql.
I had to use freeware app CopyLock.exe which can delete folder even if files in use.

Then I copied the xampp-win32-perl-addon-5.8.8-2.2.8 files.
I run setup_xampp.bat
I run setup_xampp.bat second time and selecter perl module install.


Error is:
Errno architecture (MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-4.0) does not match executable architecture (MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.00) at C:/xampp/perl/site/lib/Errno.pm line 11.

Does the errror above implicate some version problem?

Compilation failed in require at C:/xampp/perl/lib/IO/Socket.pm line 17.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/xampp/perl/lib/IO/Socket.pm line 17.
Compilation failed in require at server.pl line 12.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at server.pl line 12.


I also checked the PPM.bat. I run the refresh function to get all available packets and selected view all packages.

[marksu]

I also run the verify packets in PPM and got many error like "missing" or "wrong mode 666 expected 444"?
Should I just reinstall all the existing packet in PPM or is there some other problem here?

[marksu]

I I trying other aproach now.
Instead of using the perl zip version I though to use the installer version.
I get error: Cannot found pache http 2.2.8 for mod_perl (Recommended)! Continue?

I think Imight have deleted that file when removing the old perfiles before reinstall?

What is that file and can it be copied from somewhere?

EDIT:
Well the only similar such files can be found 2 times "mod_perl.so", once mod_perl2.pm, mod_perl2 folder.
I did ansvare continue on start of the install but same error apper.

[marksu]

I used the ppm to reinstall the errno package now I get same error when running my script except that first error line changed to :

Errno architecture (MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.0) does not match executable architecture (MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.00) at C:/xampp/perl/site/lib/Errno.pm line 11.

Line 11 says :

"$Config{'archname'}-$Config{'osvers'}" eq
"MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.0" or
die "Errno architecture (MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.0) does not match executable architecture ($Config{'archname'}-$Config{'osvers'})";

[marksu]

Well I added a zero number to the code.

"$Config{'archname'}-$Config{'osvers'}" eq
"MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.00" or
die "Errno architecture (MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.0) does not match executable architecture ($Config{'archname'}-$Config{'osvers'})";

Well strange thing that I have to edit the file though.
I wonder what problems system might have?

Go back to the zip version and start afresh by following my above post.
(The msi installer version assumes too much and is like a net nanny that likes to think it knows everything when in fact it is has no brain at all and worse it will send a user round the bend - take control yourself as the outcome will be much more satisfying, much like using the command line).


After extracting the zip file and before running the setup_xampp.bat file go in to C:/xampp/perl/site/lib and rename the file Errno.pm to Errno.bak or delete the file.
(this fix is from the ActivePerl community forums and was posted on our forums here previously).

Now run the setup bat file but don't select to use mod_perl and lets see if that lets you move forward.

You don't need mod_perl unless your scripts specifically require it which would be highly unlikely and if by some odd chance you do require it then it is a simple case of running the setup bat file again and selecting it, in fact if I recall correctly there was a past version where mod_perl did not work anyway which was corrected in a subsequent version - but lets get this show on the road minus the perl_mod.


BTW Marksu, very good summary in the htaccess topic but you have 1. CREATING and 2. CREATING with the same .htpasswd name???
